Plan for Salvaging Materials and Attire Debate at State House
A statewide salvage plan advises stacking newspapers in bundles, opening boxes flat, bagging waste paper, segregating glazed magazines, and avoiding waxed paper. It lists items not worth saving like tin cans and razor blades and notes possible future salvaging in Iowa. Separately a state house debate over women’s summer attire pits anklets and slacks against stocks and skirts, with Superintendent Jessie Parker vowing to oppose slacks or anklets in her office.

Better VICTORY GARDENS Grow Potatoes Iowa Tips
Potatoes require fertile well drained soil and careful rotation. Use 500 pounds of 6-5-27 on peat or muck, 500 pounds of superphosphate per acre on upland soils. The Irish Cobbler is the premier Iowa variety. Chippewa is second best. Use certified seed, treat before planting, plant early, and space 12 inches apart in rows 32 to 36 inches apart. Cover 3 to 4 inches, grow sprouts promptly, and avoid May planting unless deep beats.
